Abstract

The application of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi has been reported to confer multiple agronomic benefits to crop plants including cereals, vegetables, and fruit trees, as well as to improve soil structure and health. In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis to investigate whether AM fungal addition enhances potato yield. We further examined whether several experimental conditions (type of experiment, inoculation method, and source of AM fungi) and potato cultivar may explain the outcomes. We calculated the effect sizes of seven plant parameters by including a total of 106 independent pot and field experimental studies from 37 peer reviewed publications. Our results show that the addition of AM fungi has an overall positive effect on all potato plant parameters included in our analyses except for aboveground plant biomass. Potato cultivar was the main significant moderator explaining our findings, with some cultivars benefiting more from AM fungal presence than others. Our findings agree with several other global meta-analyses reporting positive effects of AM fungi on other important crops and highlights the potential application of these fungal symbionts in potato agro-ecosystems.

丛枝菌根真菌添加对马铃薯系统有益吗？一个荟萃分析。

据报道，应用丛枝菌根（AM）真菌可为包括谷物、蔬菜和果树在内的农作物带来多种农艺效益，并可改善土壤结构和健康状况。在本研究中，我们进行了一项荟萃分析，以研究添加 AM 真菌是否能提高马铃薯产量。我们进一步研究了几种实验条件（实验类型、接种方法和 AM 真菌的来源）和马铃薯栽培品种是否可以解释结果。我们计算了七个植物参数的效应大小，包括来自 37 篇同行评议出版物的总共 106 项独立的盆栽和田间实验研究。我们的结果表明，除了地上部植物生物量外，添加 AM 真菌对我们分析中的所有马铃薯植物参数都有总体上的积极影响。马铃薯栽培品种是解释我们研究结果的主要重要调节因素，一些栽培品种比其他栽培品种更能从AM真菌的存在中获益。我们的研究结果与其他几项全球荟萃分析的结果一致，这些分析报告了AM真菌对其他重要作物的积极影响，并强调了这些真菌共生体在马铃薯农业生态系统中的潜在应用。

期刊介绍： Mycorrhiza is an international journal devoted to research into mycorrhizas - the widest symbioses in nature, involving plants and a range of soil fungi world-wide. The scope of Mycorrhiza covers all aspects of research into mycorrhizas, including molecular biology of the plants and fungi, fungal systematics, development and structure of mycorrhizas, and effects on plant physiology, productivity, reproduction and disease resistance. The scope also includes interactions between mycorrhizal fungi and other soil organisms and effects of mycorrhizas on plant biodiversity and ecosystem structure. Mycorrhiza contains original papers, short notes and review articles, along with commentaries and news items. It forms a platform for new concepts and discussions, and is a basis for a truly international forum of mycorrhizologists from all over the world.
